Established as a state agency in 1924, the mission of the Alabama Forestry Commission is three-fold:  to Protect the Forests from all harmful agents; to Service and Help Landowners to carry out responsible forest management on their property, using professional technical assistance so as to benefit themselves, their land and society; and to Educate the General Public about the value of our forests in insuring both a healthy economy and environment.  We do this in the most efficient and cost effective way possible.

The Forestry Commission is governed by a seven member Board of Commissioners appointed by the Governor of Alabama.
